Australian PGA star Jason Day captures American spirit with patriotic outfit fans absolutely love

Australian PGA Tour star Jason Day is back at a major with some viral outfits, and he went with an American look this time.

Day used to have some regular fits for tournaments when he had a contract with Nike. 

Since breaking away with Malbon Golf, he has been the talk on tour for looks that have broken the internet, whether it’s his sweater vest that Augusta National Golf Club told him to take off or his old-school look at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2024 that left golf fans debating the look.

That said, Day is taking risks on the course with his fashion sense. Ahead of the U.S. Open, he had the perfect shorts at the practice range, which fans seemed to love. 

Day sported a full American flag on his shorts to go with a navy Malbon polo that featured red and white striping and a custom flag on the arm sleeve.

“What a fit from Jason Day,” Golf.com’s Claire Rogers tweeted.

But Day wasn’t done showing off his American spirit. He was chipping with a Malbon white pullover that had stars on the collar and another custom Malbon flag on an arm sleeve. 

The Malbon team clearly wanted to celebrate America ahead of the third major of the season.

While Day may be best dressed out at Oakmont Country Club, he’s hoping to tame what’s expected to be a rough course layout. 

The rough at Oakmont has gone viral like Day’s outfits for being long and treacherous for the participants this week. Whether it’s in the fairway or around the greens, players will need to be precise with every shot, even more than usual, to be able to score.

The greens have also proven to be a challenge during practice rounds, with short putts flying past the hole if missed due to angulation.

Day has yet to win a tournament this year, but he has three top 10 finishes. He has one major under his belt, winning the PGA Championship in 2015. The closest he’s come to winning a major since then was the 2023 Open Championship, where he finished tied for second. 

Day’s best finishes in the U.S. Open came in 2011 and 2013, when he was also runner-up.

Michigan football staffer who had alleged affair with Sherrone Moore still employed by university

Michigan football staffer who had alleged affair with Sherrone Moore still employed by university

The football staffer who allegedly had a romantic relationship with fired head coach Sherrone Moore is still employed by the University of Michigan.

The woman has served as Moore’s executive assistant. 

“There is no change in her employment status,” a Michigan spokesperson told Fox News. 

The woman received a massive pay bump between 2024 and 2025.

The individual allegedly linked to Moore, whose LinkedIn profile lists her as an executive assistant to the head football coach at the University of Michigan, made just over $58,000 in 2023 and 2024, according to public payroll information. In the 2025 fiscal year, though, her salary jumped to $99,000, according to a salary disclosure report from the University of Michigan.

During Moore’s arraignment Friday, prosecutors alleged he and the staffer had been in an “intimate relationship for a number of years,” which they say the woman ended on Monday. Prosecutors further claim Moore sent multiple text messages and made phone calls that prompted the woman to report the situation to the university and cooperate with its investigation.

Moore was released from jail Friday on $25,000 bond, according to police records obtained by Fox News Digital.

However, it’s unclear whether Moore will be returning home to his family. 

Moore’s attorney, Joseph Simon, declined to say whether the coach will be going home to his wife and three children while speaking to reporters at an Ann Arbor courthouse Friday.

“I’m just going to not answer that question,” Simon said when asked if Moore was “going to be able to go home.”

Moore has been married to wife Kelli since 2015, and they have three daughters together — Shiloh, Solei and Sadie. Simon also declined to comment on the “mood” of his client after Moore was charged.

The conditions of Moore’s release require him to wear a GPS tether and continue mental health treatment and forbid him from communicating with the victim.

Moore was fired Wednesday, and the University of Michigan quickly announced it found credible evidence he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer. Moore was then detained by police Wednesday after news of his dismissal broke. 

Moore was arraigned in court Friday on stalking and home invasion charges. According to prosecutors, he faces a felony charge of home invasion in the third degree and two misdemeanor charges of stalking and breaking and entering without the owner’s permission.

Both misdemeanor charges are related to a “domestic relationship.”

When Moore was fired from his position as head coach, prosecutors said, it prompted him to visit the woman’s home. 

Moore then allegedly “barged” his way into the residence, grabbed a butter knife and a pair of kitchen scissors and began threatening his own life. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly told the staffer, “My blood is on your hands” and “You ruined my life.” 

Prosecutors claimed Moore “terrorized” the staffer and that they believed him to be a “risk to public safety.”

Utah’s winningest coach to step down after 21 seasons: ‘Honor and a privilege’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The Utah Utes will be ending an era when they play against Nebraska in the Las Vegas Bowl Dec. 31.

It will be head coach Kyle Whittingham’s last game as head coach after the 66-year-old announced Friday he is stepping down. Whittingham is the winningest coach in program history, going 117-88 over 22 seasons. 

“The time is right to step down from my position as the head football coach at the University of Utah,” Whittingham said in a statement Friday.

“It’s been an honor and a privilege to lead the program for the past 21 years, and I’m very grateful for the relationships forged with all the players and assistant coaches that have worked so hard and proudly worn the drum and feather during our time here.”

Whittingham co-coached the Fiesta Bowl with Utah in 2004 and then took over as the permanent head coach the following season. Whittingham led Utah to a winning record in 18 of his 21 seasons.

This season, Utah is 10-2 and at one point ranked No. 13 in the AP poll, just missing out on the College Football Playoff (CFB).

Whittingham was named the Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 1981 in his senior year. 

Before becoming a coach, Whittingham played in the USFL and the CFL from 1982 to 1984. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at BYU.
